Look at What I Found! (Pics!)

[TheShowstoppa]

*Note* I don't know if this is the correct forum, but I thought it fit nicely here since it's Old-School.

While camping down in southern Indiana, my girlfriend and I went to Edinburg, IN where they have a huge Outlet Mall and Antique mall. Well, while walking around, I found this nifty little ride.

For Those who can't see, it says "Turtle Turbo Power" and gives the tire "size."

It's been a week now, but I thought you would all appreciate it. I had been wanting to get these up for a while, but I've been working non-stop.

[ToTheNines]

:lol: That's so cool, did you ride it?

Thanks for sharing.

[Roseangelo]

I actually think these are fairly new. I found one in San Jose last year.

[TheShowstoppa]

Thanks for ruining it for me Rose! ;) I didn't ride it, but if it weren't for the fact that there was Mall Security and Cameras I would have busted the damn change door open, left the quarters, and stolen the ride just to have in my house.

[Roseangelo]

Haha. Well, it's still awesome. :D

[Andrew NDB]

Heh, that's cute.

[Zog the Equalizer]

I found these last summer in The Toy and Action Figure Museum in Paul's Valley,Oklahoma.

My ExGirlfriend and her friends went to that museum last year too I believe.

Strange that they would manufacture a retro turtle van for children considering most all children old enough to ride it would have no clue what it is

Cool, where in San Jose? I live near there.

I had no idea the turtles were so patriotic.

Also, the turtles are driving very fast for such a top heavy vehicle.

[Roseangelo]

Oh, I'm not exactly sure. Huge, giant mall place. I've only been there the one time, and only because there was a Pokemon event going on. 8)

[GK Punk]

Aaaaaaah I think I may know where that is actually!

[Michaelangelo|DAH]

pretty neat... Well yeah, If they were from 1987 or start 90's they would probably be pretty trashed by now hehe...
So they are probably fairly new...

[General Traag]

I had no idea the turtles were so patriotic.

In the 'big' threeparter they leave splinter in the technodrome which is rolling towards ny just to stop a rocket from hitting mount rushmore with the words 'those unpatriotic gooseballs'.
Strangely the turtles are VERY patriotic (maybe just brownnosing the human race though). :p

The van looks cool btw, just not my size. ^^

Maybe it's from the late 1980's or early 1990's.

[Scandia]

It does seem way too new and clean and shiny to be from the 80s/early 90s.

Not that it makes it any less AWESOME!!!

Yeah, I took pics of one a month or so ago at a mall about a half hour from me. Unfortunately, they're on my cell, haha.

You got some nice, detailed pics, though.

[Raph's Girl]

Man I wish I could find something like that near me! Im small enough that I'd fit in one for sure. :lol:

[ToTheNines]

I'm not, but I'd jump on top with the turtles.:D

[Revan]

Well, Rose said she thought it was fairly new and I'd put faith in one of her hunches any day.

[TheAnimatedSeries]

I'd put more than faith in her hunch. :o

And by hunch I mean something completely unrelated and disgusting.

[Lisardo]

Dang, if only I had gone down to Edinburg when I still lived in Indiana!

[Roseangelo]

:fshifty: ...

[Gokhan]

we had 1 of these at the mall where i stay

[Tinuvielsdreams]

haha I really really hope they put one of those at one of the random stores here. I remember those kind of kid coin rides, but never a TMNT one!

[OA]

Those are pretty neat but I highly doubt those are from the 80's, early 90's...they seem to be in pretty awesome condition, esp for the first one which is located outside...

Um... eww?

That's not new that's been there since I was a little kid. They have one at Valley Fair too. If I remember my malls correctly that's Oakridge your in.

Nope. Oakridge is the one San Jose mall I've been to more than once; there's no TMNT there. I checked a map and it was Valley Fair. I can't say anything about how long it's been there, though.

[Janus Prospero]

Is it just me, or are all shopping malls in California Westfield Shopping Centers?

[Spitfire]

Most of them are, except a few like the mall by my house, the Great Mall, as well as some others like Valco and Town Center*Which I think thet closed finally*

Ah okay, yeah Vallyfair is in Santa Clara to me, but that comes from living in the area for so long.

I could have it mixed up and the VF one is the one that I remember being there forever. Because Oakridge is newer then VF. Valco used to have one to but that craphole closed down. I drove by there the other day it looks like they re-did it I'm tempted to see what it's become.

[Nightwatcher]

To Edinburg!

[Drtooth]

Kawaii!!! I remember seeing a Garfield one not too long ago. You never see cartoon character based ones that much anymore. They're just generic tranis that look like HIT should threaten to sue them over copying Thomas the Tankengine.

[Buslady]

I have seen one in the past couple years, clean and new looking. They are old, but they're making new ones or refurbing. I remember these way back when OT was still the big thing.

Woa!! you reminded me of all my previous malls I miss the arcade at Valco, Great mall is Awesome but Valley fair is cool but its way to crowded specially since thew santana row opened :ohwell:

Anyways... I just happened to come across one of these awesome little cars at the Camarillo outlet, near the food court about two weeks ago, It was a really nice surprise...

[Hero]

I remember that ride in the UK some years ago. The turtles were not metallic green though.

[Hellboy]

I read this topic a while ago and wanted to post these pics but it took me some time to find them again on my back-up drive. Anyway, here's some pictures I took at a drive-thru restaurant in Germany.

And you thought the first one looked bad.

http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b312/JohnnyRiff/turtle.jpg
Raph seems to be working for the German police nowadays.

http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b312/JohnnyRiff/crammed.jpg
Uh yeah... I'm a big kid I guess. :embarass:

[BubblyShell22]

Awww! All those pics are cute! I wish they had one near me. That would be cool.
